Neonicotinoid pesticides are able to irreversibly connect to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and
I trigger (stimulate) non-stop action potentials
■ Neonicotinoid pesticides cannot be broken down by acetylcholinesterase, resulting in
permanent overstimulation of other neurons.
■ Overstimulation results in fatal convulsions and paralysis in the insects
Using the diagrams and text above, explain in your own words how exposure to
neonicotinoid pesticides "results in fatal convulsions and paralysis in the insects."
